2014 Honolulu Pulse Awards

Got a favorite spot for pizza, or know where to go when it’s late at night and you have the munchies?

Where is the best bar for beer in Honolulu? How about the best bar for day drinking, or the best bar for people who don’t like bars?

We asked readers of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s entertainment website, Honolulu Pulse, to nominate their favorites in nearly 50 categories for the first-ever Honolulu Pulse Awards.

A public online vote was held in July to determine the winners listed below. They’ll be celebrated during a VIP party on Sept. 24 at The Safehouse inside The Republik, followed by the official Honolulu Pulse Awards Afterparty that’s open to the general public starting at 9 p.m. Admission is free; the parties are sponsored by Bacardi and will feature performances by some of the winners.

Since its launch in 2010, the Pulse has served as a vital source of locally produced coverage of Honolulu’s arts, entertainment, food and nightlife scenes. More than 200,000 unique visitors access the site every month for the latest news and photo event coverage, plus more than a dozen regular weekly features produced by a team of veteran reporters and bloggers.
